After these remarks, Putin and [[Xi]] spent the rest of 2021 trying to disabuse Biden of the “China squeeze” [[meme]]: This mutual effort culminated in the Xi-Putin ‘no limits’ friendship summit of that year. If the advisers had been paying attention however, they would have threaded a long history of Russo-Chinese [[rapprochement]]. But no, they were [[ideological]]ly frozen in the view that the two were destined to be eternal enemies.

On May 16, 2024 Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin and Chinese Communist Party General Secretary Xi Jinping issued a joint statement in [[Beijing]].<ref>[https://x.com/RnaudBertrand/status/1791303781218693145 BUILDING A NEW WORLD ORDER], x.com</ref><ref>[https://www.chinanews.com.cn/gn/2024/05-16/10217948.shtml Joint Statement of the People's Republic of China and the Russian Federation on Deepening the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership of Coordination for a New Era on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries]. 2024-05-16 18:40 Source: CCTV news client. (In Mandarin).</ref> It was President Putin's first official foreign visit since his re-inauguration on May 7 for a 5th term. The two governments agreed to "take the acknowledgement of [[cultural]] and [[civilization]]al diversity” as the basis for “furthering dialogue, cooperation and experience exchange.” The two countries also vowed to “counter the politicization of culture, attempts at ‘[[cancel culture|cancelling the culture]]’ of certain countries and peoples."
[[Alastair Crooke]] says the joint statement evokes the "very elemental laws of nature itself in sketching [[the West]]'s usurpation of the fundamental principles of [[humanity]], [[reality]], and order – a critique which maddens the [[collective West]]." Crooke says the joint statement is not just a detailed framework of a [[BRICS]] future. Russia and China have put forward a dynamic vision of concrete principles as pillars for a new society in the post-Western future.<ref>[https://thealtworld.com/alastair_crooke/the-brink-of-dissolution-neurosis-in-the-west-as-the-levee-breaks The brink of dissolution: Neurosis in the West as the levee breaks], ALASTAIR CROOKE, 27 MAY 24. thealtworld.com/alastair_crooke</ref>
By playing straight into the primordial sources of meaning that are deeper than individual preference – [[faith]], [[family]], soil and [[flag]] – Russia and China have picked up the pieces and born-up the mantle of the Non-Aligned Movement through promoting the right of national [[self-determination]] and an end to centuries old [[colonialism|systems of exploitation]].
The following day Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin stated, "The United States, with its [[Cold War]]-era mentality, bears an irremediable [[responsibility]] for the emergence and escalation of the [[NATO war in Ukraine|Ukrainian crisis]]".<ref>[https://tass.com/world/1789489 US directly responsible for emergence, escalation of Ukrainian crisis — Beijing], 17 MAY, 2024. tass.com </ref>
